Where my ear piercing is there is a lump like a blind pimple or a cyst. How can i get rid of it?

I havent been wearing any strange earings and i try to give my ears a break and swap sterling sliver and surgeical steel ones. I never borrow other peoples earings and the lump isnt noticable it just hurts a little bit when you touch it. Any ideas?

It probably is scar tissue. Whenever the body receives a trauma (which piercing is) or is exposed to a foreign body (like earrings) one of the ways it responds as it heals is to form scar tissue at the site. As long as the area isn't red, warm to the touch, swollen, painful all the time and/or draining pus (all of which could mean an infection or allergy) then it is probably scar tissue which won't go away, but is not harmful.
Reply:its an infection. Remove the earring let it heal up and use gold earrings if you decide to pierce it again.
Reply:It could be a little keloid scar. They can go away on their own with time, but to help it along you can put a baking powder mask on it. Get a little baking powder (1tsp) and mix in wnough water to make a paste. Put it on and let it do its job. After a little while, maybe 30 minutes, it will dry and you can wash it off. Repeat once a day for a week or so, you should notice improvement soon. Good Luck.
Reply:I think it is just irritation. Mine get like that sometimes. I don't wear earrings very often so, when I do, I tear the skin a bit to get them in. They do get red and warm to touch, but this goes away with time once I remove the earrings. Just be sure to sterilize your earrings and wash your hands before you touch your ears- your body's natural defenses will prevent a full-blown infection from occurring. A bit of hydrogen peroxide applied to the ears also helps.
